Chaos Magic (featuring Caterina Nix and Timo Tolkki): Chaos Magic
One of the people in this venture needs no introduction and one is a new name so let's fill in the gaps shall we? Caterina Nix (born Caterina Torrealba in Santiago, Chile) is a newcomer who was signed by Frontiers to head the Chaos Magic project in collaboration with famed guitarist, songwriter and producer Timo Tolkki (former Stratovarius composer and guitarist), who wrote and produced the album for her. She has previously appeared on Tolkki's Avalon's second album, entitled Angels of the Apocalypse where she shared lead vocals on songs with names such as Simone Simons (Epica), Elize Ryd (Amaranthe) and Floor Jansen (Nightwish.)
The problem which faces Chaos Magic is that it is in quite a crowded marketplace – just look at the female-fronted bands represented in the paragraph above, add in Within Temptation, Xandria, Stream of Passion etc and Chaos Magic need something special to make them stand out from the pack. It's entirely debateable as to whether this is the case but Ms Nix is an excellent singer moving confidently between the more operatic tunes to the more rocking songs. The best song is the very-much-like-Within-Temptation "One Drop of Blood" which has definite hit potential. Given Frontiers' recent chart success there's no reason why Chaos Magic shouldn't become more of a band than a project. Perhaps there could be a touch more originality next time but this will do for now.
